Mr.. BLAINE is a private citizen, at pres
ent travelling in Europe The President Of
the United States after some months of
incubation, delivers a stump speech on
the tariff, in place Of the annual message
which his official duty requires. Twenty
four hours after its publication in this
country there comes from Mr.. Blaine in
Europe a reply so thoroughly American
in spirit, so keen in its comprehension Of
American interests and needs, so accurate
in facts and so crushing and complete in
its argument, that leading papers of the
party which supports Mr.. Cleveland do
not dare TO place it before their readers.
His friends see that the reply will kindle
the enthusiasm Of millions of Americans
for the policy Of the Republican party,
and for the strong leader who so swiftly
and surely represents American interests
and American thought Mr.. Cleveland's
message not only divides and dismays his
friends. but delights the London newspa-
pers and the British manufacturers.
The fatal blunder of Mr. Cleveland was
In attempting to make the people take it
for granted that duties for the protection
of home industry must be removed or
lowered, in order, to diminish the reve-
nue.. The people know better. Mr.
Elaine. three thousand miles away, tells
the President that taxes on tobacco and
on spirits used in manufactures can be
cut off. and the tax on whiskey applied
10 the defense of seaports, and that it is
simply inexcusable To retain internal war
taxes for no better purpose than to de-
priye home industries of the legitimate
measure of defence which a tariff ade-
quate to raise the needed revenue would
give Coast defence, so ably and elo-
quently urged by Mr.. Tilden, has never
been fairly considered by Mr.. Cleveland,
and NAV easily be forgotten by Presi-
dent who values British commentator,
courts British favor, and considers Brit
sh rather than American interests.
Protection for homie industries has not
been directly assailed by any President
except Mr. Cleveland since James Bu-
chanan went out of office in disgrace. Ii
remains 10 be seen whether President
Cleveland can with safety rely upon the
influence of importing agents and foreign
manufacturers even in New York and
New Jersey, to uphold him in trying to
break down the tariff which has so grand
ly developed and now defends American
/ industry Y Tribune

Anarchist Most's Sentence.

New YORK. Dec s.--Johann Most, the An
archist, who was convicted OF misdemeanor,
was arraigned in the General Sessions Court
to-day. His counsel, Mr. Howe, argued for
a new trial, contending that Most had not
been convicted on any fair evidence, but
that an unfair prejudice had been instilled
into the case. Assistant District Attorney
Nicoll said in reply that he hoped Judge
Cowing would not subvert all precedents of
law by reviewing the verdict.
Judge Cowing said he would deny the mo-
ton. but that he would grant certificate 10
the Supreme Court in General FERN. when
the whole ease might be heard.
When the Clerk of the Court asked Most
what he had TO say why sentence should not
be pronounced ON him Most appealed to the
Judge 10 use his discretion in setting aside
the verdict and protested his innocence, say
his conviction had been brought about by
perjury and prejudice. Judge Cowing's only
reply was: The sentence of the Court is
that you be confined in the pententiary ior
a period of one year without the fine"

Cincinnati Fldelidy Bank Scandal.


CINCINNATI, Dec. s.-The Enquirer to-day
published fac-simile cipher letters which
purport to have been sent while in Jail by
ex-Vioe President Harper, now on trial to
Miss Josie HOLMES. his former exchange
clerk The letters are as ardent as those of
any lover could be. In the first one he in
strncted her about what she should say in
her testimony. IL is explained thar after the
failure Harper proiessed the warmest friend
ship Assistant Cashier B. f.. Hopkins. and
promised 10 do everything that could be
done 10 shield him Hopkins son Charles
was correspondingly kind to Harper and be-
came bis messenger to carry letters to and
from Miss Holmes. While performing tins
office be began to suspect thai Harper was
arranging TO shirk upon his father the re-
sponsibility of all transactions with the grain
brokers, and young Hopkins, to place Har-
per within MS power. conceived the design
of conoealing the letters and delivering YER
bal messages only. In the Court room To-
day Harper gave his usual polite attention to
his wife, and showed but little trace OF trou-
BILE. His wife, however, sat like statute.

There is no doubt of the authenticity of the
letters, and they place in the true light the
relations between the ex-banker and his fair
clerk. The prosecution to-day closed its evi-
dence in the case
